Warming waters are a significant threat to freshwater ecosystems and the fish humans like to catch.

Wood turtles were once common in the Northeast, in habitats that featured streams, fields, and forests. But a combination of factors, mostly due to human activity, have caused their populations to plummet.

Few other birds — or creatures, for that matter — have so many varied and contradictory beliefs swirling around them. Owls are both feared and revered, scorned and adored.

The climate crisis is leading to avian population declines, particularly with those species that undergo long-distance migration, such as the common yellowthroat, the wood thrush, and the American goldfinch.

Bees play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem function through their unique relationships with native flowering plants.

The presence of freshwater mussels is indicative of high water quality and a healthy ecosystem. Their absence tells a different story.
